Police told Fairfax Media Ms Moody's death appeared to be an accident but they were still investigating the matter.

'[There were] no arguments before. Actually they were out there having a good time and camping overnight,' Camden police Inspector Jayne Doherty said.

They had been engaged for two months when Ms Moody slipped while collecting water with a billy can about 8.30pm while her fiance was only just steps behind her

On September 4, Mr Veitch announced his engagement to 'Meg' on Facebook after being together for just six months and said she had made him 'real happy'.

'I lashed out and offered to marry her,' he wrote.

'Geez it felt good when i got told to bugger off nar jokes the ring fit an she said yes woohoo my meg rules hah anutha 9 day in paradise party on (sic).'

Three days later after the engagement, Mr Veitch - who listed his occupation as a prawn trawler -posted a selfie of him and Ms Moody smiling at 'a cool little pad up the mountains'.

The couple had been planning on spending the night at Mermaid Pools with police warning people to be careful when camping near cliffs.

'Just a general warning to people who are attending these sort of areas of a night time - particularly if people are intoxicated,' Inspector Michael Bright told ABC Radio.

'There's no lighting, it's quite a high area - there's a lot of cliff face around it and there's also no mobile service so if something goes wrong it's an area where you're not going to get a quick response from emergency services.'
